I need Randy's reccomendations.

My link is below, but after looking at water parameters, not sure how to remove B, Br, So and other high elements. I have elevated my dkh and ca since this test. If you could take a few min and give me any pointers or advise, I would appreciate it very much and you will help save the few corals I have left. LPS only slowly die over a few months period of time.
Thank you

The borate (B) and bromide (Br) are no concern at all and are not harming the corals, and cannot be lowered quickly except by a water change with a salt mix with lower levels.

I/m not sure what other one you are asking about. At a quick look, I don't see an explanation here for coral issues.

What about the copper or Aluminum levels?

I wouldn't be surprised if that copper reading is just noise and not an actual level. It is well below Triton's claimed limit of detection, and is 20 times lower than I had in my tank at one point without apparent issue.

The aluminum isn't high enough to have caused an issue in my tests (takes 10x more), so I do not think it an issue, but if you see closed up soft corals (seemingly the first to respond), you might look to the aluminum as one possibility.

Not sure if you had a look at my ongoing thread. I've tried a few things over 9 months and still trying to find the route cause of my issue. Any help or something that sticks out to you, is greatly appreciated

It looks like ur calcium is a little low,nutrients a little high and your kh is a little low as well if I’m reading this correctly

Yeah initial post stated that I raised them back up to normal parameters. I can't figure out what's going on....could be the fight against dinos too....i guess....but I need clairity

Understand, sorry didn’t see the params we’re back at optimal levels hope the best for u sounds like u got the right professionals help

Lowefx · Oct 9, 2017

Still not sure what's going on....

I have no idea why my LPS are STN. Maybe from my dino die off????and yes I've tried lighting, feeding, and none of my LPS are surviving. Which is why I sent in a water test.
From this...

To this..... in 4 months
